National Forensic Science University, Delhi (Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan National Institute of Criminology & Forensic Science)
The institute was formerly known as "Institute of Criminology and Forensic Science" and came into existence on 4 January 1972. The institute has trained around 41,000 officers from Police, Judiciary, Prisons, Prosecution, Defence, Customs, Forest, Medical, Public Sector Undertakings, Nationalized Banks as well as Scientists from Central and State Forensic Science Laboratories.

Vyas is the Vice Chancellor and Dr Purvi Pokhariyal is the Campus Director.
The UGC set up an expert committee to suggest steps to bring Criminology and Forensic Science into the general stream of university education, based on the resolution taken at a Symposium organized by UNESCO in London in 1955. It suggested that systematic understanding of Criminology and Forensic Science was necessary for Law Enforcement Officers and the Universities should be encouraged to include these disciplines in their curriculum.
Following recommendations of the UGC to set up a Central Institute for teaching Criminology and Forensic Science, Government of India established the institute in 1972 within the Bureau of Police Research and Development. In 1976 it became an independent Department directly under the Ministry of Home Affairs with a wider mandate which included promotion of Criminology and Forensic Science. The Institute was upgraded as a National Institute in 1991 and in 2003 the Institute was renamed after Lok Nayak Jayaprakash Narayan.[4]
